    Hah, why did I say Oilers? Edmonton Eskimos they were a dynasty. Cool helmets too.

        • No.it isn't that, the hockey team is the Edmonton Oilers. At the time of Warren Moon they were the dynasty, if you look in the record books it is ridiculous how absurd Wayne Gretzky's stats are.

            Trickalicious - I don't think it is fair that the division rivals get to play the Lions twice. The Lions NEVER get to play the Lions, let alone twice.

            • Falcons at Carolina.

              Good Lord. What a dog of a game.

              Not much worth watching here, although I would like to see Marcus Mariota have some success.

              • THis is the rematch of the two teams where the guy ripped his helmet off after scoring the game tying TD with 12 seconds left and was penalized....then the Panthers missed the XP (from 48 yards) and lost in OT

                  Yep.
                  Gretzky's points total by comparison:
                  -------------
                  Secretariat winning the Belmont by 31 lengths.
                  Chamberlain averaging 50 points a game - for an entire season.
                  Ryan's career K total of 5,714. (by comparison, Verlander only needs another 2,500 K's to catch him....)
                  -------------
                  Fahgettaboutit. Those are etched in stone for all eternity.
                  Gretzky was (and is) literally the Babe Ruth of Hockey - and that was before they opened up the ice to make scoring easier.....

                  • Man, another stinker. I can’t recall so many shitty games in a long time. TNF, SNF, MNF. Just some brutal games. Not even watchable. This year has been a total slog.

                    College has been cool, though. I’m not a huge college football guy, but I’ve watched some friggin classics this year.​

                    • Maybe they need to control some of these QB salaries. You have guys like Tyreek leave Mahomes and DeVonte leave Rodgers. The teams couldn’t afford the WR salary with the high QB salary. IDK, there’s a ton of reasons. I just think this has been a really boring season overall. Just a bad product.

                        Good luck with controlling QB salaries. Shit, backups (who never play a down) make more than starting O-lineman (who never take a play off).....

                        • Maybe it’s just saturation combined with parity. Three fucking days a week now with games. They don’t really feel like events anymore. They just sort of happen.

                          IDK, maybe I’m in the minority, but this year just seems off. It’s like watching reruns or some shitty season of some jump the shark TV show.

                            I agree. I've seen a few good games, but most are like this. Too many "who gives a fuck" games on in prime time.

                              Too many "Prime Time" slots, and not enough "Prime Time" teams to fill them.
                              What you are seeing during the season is essentially what you see during the offseason. The NFL just filling time slots.

                              • I don’t think I’ve ever changed the channel as much as this year. I either flip the channel or just use the game as background noise, sort of like watching baseball.

                                Shit, we have Mariota and PJ Walker tonight. Last week we had Stafford and Brady on Sunday and that game fucking sucked.

                                There is a lot of bad football this year. Primetime, Sunday, whenever.
